Overview
We helped time-poor investor clients secure a turnkey 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment with parking in the sought-after Somerset Mews complex in Balmain.
With a tenant already in place and recent renovations completed, the property offered immediate income and long-term capital growth,especially given its proximity to the upcoming White Bay Metro, due in 2032.
The Brief
Our clients were seeking a smart, low-maintenance addition to their investment portfolio with strong future upside and minimal hands-on involvement.
Key priorities included:
– Two-bedroom property with two bathrooms and parking
– Strong tenant appeal with immediate income, near new infrastructure
– Limited personal involvement due to busy professional schedules
Our Approach
We began the search by assessing several suburbs across the Hills & Balmain Peninsula, before narrowing in on Balmain due to its rental demand, scarcity of supply, and upcoming transport improvements.
Over the search process, we presented a range of qualified options,including on-market, pre-market and off-market listings,helping the clients make informed comparisons with full transparency.
The Outcome
– Property secured off-market at fair market value
– Tenant in place with no vacancy or leasing delay
– Renovated asset in established location with future uplift potential
– Efficient and well-guided experience from start to finish
